A list of strings is a list of elements of a string type. You can merge all the strings into one string using various methods. In this tutorial, you will know How to combine a list of strings into one string in various ways.
How to combine a list of strings into one string ( Methods )
Method 1: Using the join() function
In this method, you will join the strings with a ‘ ‘ character. The list of strings will be the argument of the function.
list_strings = ["ABC","GHI","JKL","DEF"]
combined_string = ''.join(list_strings)
print(combined_string)Output
ABCGHIJKLDEF
Method 2: Using the list comprehension
You will pass the list comprehension as an argument for the join() function. Use the below lines of code.
list_strings = ["ABC","GHI","JKL","DEF"]
combined_string = ''.join([string for string in list_strings])
print(combined_string)Output
ABCGHIJKLDEF
Method 3: Using the + operator
You can also combine all the strings of the list into one string using the plus ( + ) operator. Loop through each element of the list and combine each string with the last strings.
list_strings = ["ABC","GHI","JKL","DEF"]
combined_string = ''
for string in list_strings:
combined_string += string
print(combined_string)Output
ABCGHIJKLDEF
Method 4: Combine strings with a separator
If you want to include a separator in the strings then you can do so. Instead of the ‘ ‘ you have to use ‘, ‘ with the join function to include the separator.
list_strings = ["ABC","GHI","JKL","DEF"]
separator = ', '
combined_string = separator.join(list_strings)
print(combined_string)Output
ABC, GHI, JKL, DEF
Conclusion
These are the methods on How to combine a list of strings into one string. You can use any one of them at per convenience. Here I have not checked the execution timing of each method so you can check which method is the fastest method. I Hope, this tutorial has gained your knowledge of the various methods to combine strings into one string.
